Fujifilm X100 vs Sony ZV-1 Sensor Comparison

		

		

			
Normally, its difficult to visualise the gap between sensor sizing simply by going over a spec sheet. The visual underneath will help offer you a much better sense of the sensor sizes in the Fujifilm X100 and ZV-1.
Clearly, the two cameras offer different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The Fujifilm X100 having a larger sensor will make getting shallow depth of field simpler and the Sony ZV-1 will offer greater detail having an extra 8 Megapixels. Greater resolution can also let you crop images a little more aggressively. The older Fujifilm X100 is going to be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor tech.
